BadTrip co-writer and star ericandre says he has a very specific crowd in mind for a potential sequel. 'Oh, I got a lot of church pranks in my head. Those are coming.'
Co-writer and star Eric André teases potential development on Bad Trip 2 and says the sequel could feature a lot of church-based pranks. The hidden camera comedy film centered on best friends Chris and Bud as they take a road trip from Florida to New York City so Chris can profess his love for his high school crush while Bud's escaped criminal sister Trina chases after them for stealing her car for the trip.
Alongside André, the cast for Bad Trip was led by Lil Rel Howery as Bud, Michaela Conlin as high school crush Maria Li and Tiffany Haddish as Trina. Filmed over the course of four years, the film was originally planned to make its world premiere at 2020's South by Southwest Film Festival and get a theatrical release by Orion Pictures the following month, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the rights were sold to Netflix.
"It was such a success, I would be remiss if I didn't take another crack at it. It was so trial by fire that there were so many mistakes and failures. We shot probably 10-times the amount of footage that you saw in the final cut of the movie. Now we know what we're doing, so it would be nice to take a stab at it again with the knowledge that we had to learn the hard way. Oh, I got a lot of church pranks in my head. Those are coming.
When it comes to hidden camera comedy titles, there certainly is no limit to just who can be targeted for a prank and a church certainly seems right up the alley of Eric André's unique brand of comedy.
As André states in his interview, it would be pretty hard to pass up on at least exploring a potential Bad Trip 2 given the first film's success at Netflix. Despite being leaked and pirated from its brief availability on Amazon Prime Video, the first Bad Trip would still reach the No. 1 worldwide spot on its actual streaming platform and received largely favorable reviews from critics, currently sitting at a 78 percent"Certified Fresh" approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
